Pioneering Optical
Innovations

Our Vision

To invent optical technologies and develop them into impactful products.

About Us

LightHaus Photonics was founded in 2011. Transforming optical technologies through R&D is our core business. True to our original passion, our group has successfully transformed our proprietary US-patented inventions into cutting-edge products. One such invention is frinGOe. It captured the attention of the photonics tech field and was published by Laser Focus World, a global resource for coverage of photonics technologies, applications, and markets. 

Today, LightHaus has built a wide technical expertise to provide customized solutions to optics-related applications. Our inventions are state-of-the-art, rugged, and highly cost-effective. We have built our capabilities in designing and producing optical payloads for terrestrial, airborne, and space borne surveillance. We provide bespoke optical systems for clients, including government agencies, institutions, statutory boards, and multinational corporations.


In 2022, Light Haus crossed another milestone when it participated in the Singapore consortium to create a remote-sensing satellite. Light Haus is excited to contribute to Singapore’s exploration of the next frontier in space. Light Haus will be the first local tech SME to design and build a space camera with advanced imaging capabilities, building local capabilities in developing next-generation optical imaging payloads for commercial satellites.
